Just like DVD replaced VHS...

Just like electricity replaced vapor, DVD replaced VHS and computers, typing machines, every emerging technology replace an older, less efficient one. In the case of Virtual Retinal Display, there is a good amount of technologies which could and certaily will be affected. LCD screens in cell phones and handheld computers are good examples of the first technologies which may suffer from the emergence of VRD. Indeed, imagine accessing the information displayed on your cell phone and navigating through it while your phone is actually in your pocket. The same scenario is applicable for Pda's users. Reading e-mails without having to hold any devices nor to keep focused only on the text is quite a good reason why VRD's would be much more interesting than your standard pda. In a more long term view, technologies as implemented as televisions might and surely will suffer from VRD. Indeed, this new technology will able movie watchers to immerse the movie, making it much more realistic! This is also applicable to gamers. How thrilling would it be to litteraly play ''in'' the game. Therefore, VRD will most certainly replace technologies such as LCD screens and even standard televisions when the user wishes to watch a movie or play a game.
